So if you are a 22 year old who likes action movies and you live in Miami, you may see an ad for the Avengers at a Regal Cinema in Miami on the right instead of an Ad for golf clubs. Companies like that… a lot. There’s more to it but, hopefully, you get the idea.

They basically have an ad model that allows them to rake in the $ while providing a free service. They take your personal info & then based on who they think you are & what interests you may have, they display ads on the right hand side of your browser. Also, they are able to set certain prices for ads based on the number of users they have & also the number of hits/unique hits they receive daily/weekly/monthly. It’s almost like TV. When the superbowl comes around, the network charges more $ for a company to take out an ad because the number of people expected to be watching is higher than normal. Now, because the companies have access to so many viewers/households, it is expected that their revenue will increase if they have a successful ad campaign at that time. FB makes all that $ off ads because they are basically showing the Superbowl every day.
